Violynne's parents are missing, and now her planet's leaders are after her. Aided by her aunt and a butler, she must track down a lost civilization and rescue her family. This light science fiction story doesn't do much with characterization or world-building, but it moves quickly and includes some creative details plus a touch of time travel.
